I suffer from Lupus Fibromyalgia and severe arthritis in my feet and shoulders.
I work full time but I’m now at the stage of my life where I’m finding working far to much which has helped me make a discussion to finish work next March.
i will get a works pension and a monthly pension which isn’t a lot and get the higher rate of pip ( I’m 61 )
my husband is in receipt of his state pension and also receives a small working pension.
would I be able to claim anything to be able to continue to contribute to my state pension as there is a shortfall of five and a half years until I’m entitled to my state pension.
id be grateful for any advice given

Hi,New style ESA is possible, if you've paid enough NI contributions in the previous 2 tax years but SSP is payable for 28 weeks before claiming this.I would advise you to get some face to face advice before finishing work.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

Hi @Serenblue18, would you find work easier with reasonable adjustment? This is something employers are obliged to do for disabled employees and could make working more possible.
Here is some information on Reasonable Adjustment. If you have any more questions then please do let me know.

Thank you both. I will look into both suggestions.

Hi Poppy. What is SSP please
yes I’ve paid NI and tax for over 30 year -
SSP is statuary sick pay, paid for 28 weeks by your employer but you'll need a fit note from your GP. Details in this link.
